Taiwan to Hong Kong to CHINA!

We rejoice in sharing with you that we were able to continue our mission, thanks to the faithfulness of our wonderful Father and your prayers and support. 

We arrived in Hong Kong almost 10 days ago and staying in a village almost 1 hour outside the city with YWAM. We have also been able to pray and encourage many YWAM missionaries during our time here.

We have been able to minister to women in prostitution on the streets of Hong Kong. Two of the women were from India and another was from Nepal. We were able to talk with them and pray with them. One of the women from India shared with us that she had 4 children back in India and had given birth to one of them all by herself, alone in her house. The other woman from Nepal seemed like she really was unhappy, but we continue to pray for her to know God´s peace and love.

We also were able to share the love of Jesus with children of immigrants in one of the YWAM ministries.The children were from Pakistan, India, the Philippines, and various other countries. The ministry has a resource center for the children to study their homework and play and read Bible stories. There are many immigrants and refugees in Hong Kong from Asia, Africa, the Middle East, and other parts of the world. Yesterday, God gave us the opportunity to share a message of hope, forgiveness, and love with more immigrants and refugees, many of whom are homeless here. We were also able to worship with them, serve them lunch, and pray for each of them. Praise God! There are some photos attached.

Here in Hong Kong, we have met many Filipino immigrants as well. Many work as domestic works or maids in the more affluent homes. They are some of the friendliest people in all of the city. We have had the honor to pray for a few of them and share our testimony and God´s love! There is a photo of one of these precious Filipinas attached.

Today we plan to go to Macau and visit an orphanage there. Also, today we received wonderful news as well! Thanks to God´s favor and goodness, and your prayers and support, we were able to apply and pay for our Visas to enter China, which we just received! Praise the Lord! Thank you so much for your faithfulness to believe that God is working through our ministry and mission work. 

God has directed us to go to Beijing. It is a 24 hour train ride from Hong Kong, and we do not yet have any contacts there, but we have seen God´s faithfulness and favor and we are believing He has great things planned for Beijing. We hope to leave this Sunday.

Please note that we may not have much internet connection and no Facebook probably in China (after Sunday). We will do our best to communicate, but we ask that you please pray for us during this time. If we openly evangelize in China we could be put in jail or even sent to a work camp. However, we are asking for God´s protection and for creative ways to share Christ in China.

Again, we want to thank you SO much for being part of our ministry and mission work, for praying, supporting, and encouraging us. We pray that you and your family be blessed in Jesus´s name.
